I am buying them again and probably not for the last time. They are excellent for military boots – proven up to -5°C. I don’t know how they hold up after a few days of walking, but for 1-2 days in the field they are completely sufficient.
Helikon HeavyWeight Socks - Black
Black winter socks made from a blend of cotton, acrylic, nylon, and elastane. The thick knit effectively insulates against the cold, protecting your feet during prolonged exposure to frost. Reinforced areas improve abrasion resistance and reduce the risk of chafing, while the carefully selected material composition supports moisture wicking to help keep the skin dry even during intense use.
anatomical design, non-binding cuff, reinforcements
Y-shaped heel design provides a better fit to the foot, enhancing wearing comfort. Additionally, a wide, non-constricting cuff and flat toe seam are used to prevent discomfort while walking.
Reinforcement in the heel area increases cushioning and helps protect the foot from blisters, especially during intense activity.

Excellent socks for cold days – they provide warmth and comfort for your feet. Soft, high, and thick. Paired with good footwear, they insulate and wick away moisture well even at sub-zero temperatures. It's really hard to find anything better at this price, I recommend them.

Helikon has once again delivered a solid product. The socks are warm, thick, and very comfortable even after long periods of wear. They are great for cold days in late autumn and winter, with appropriate footwear. I recommend them.
-
Warm and comfortable, but the material started to pill after the first washes. They are not as warm as some cheaper competitor socks. Worth it on promotion, but at regular price you can find better alternatives.
-
The socks are very warm. They have a comfortable, non-tightening cuff and reinforcements on the heel. Excellent quality as always with Helikon. The only downside is the length – they could be about 2 cm longer, but that also depends on your height, so it doesn't affect my rating.

I bought these socks for winter. They provide plenty of warmth and increase walking comfort. They are pleasant to the touch, high and thick. Worth their price, they haven't let me down – quite the opposite, I was positively surprised by their quality. I recommend purchasing them.
-
The perfect choice for colder days. The socks are made from high-quality materials and keep you warm even in frost, while their breathable structure means your feet stay dry all day and do not sweat.
-
I bought these socks with winter and cold in mind. I tried them on – they are really warm, fit well on the foot and don’t slip or twist. That was a very successful purchase, I definitely recommend them.
-
Great socks for winter days – they heat up perfectly and improve comfort while walking. Pleasant to the touch, high, thick. Appearance is a matter of personal taste. I intensively used four pairs for several weeks – they passed the test. After a few washes, a bit of fluff appears.
-
The socks are resistant to low temperatures, which matches the description. The cuff could be a bit longer, but thanks to this it doesn't slip down the leg. They are comfortable to wear.
-
Very comfortable and warm socks, truly great.
